Exotic Red Danube Walnut & Maple Spiced Truffle

Exotic Red Danube Walnut & Maple Spiced Truffle

A lost piece of culture is given new life.

The red Danube Walnut is regarded as a tradition in Mostviertel. In comparison to other nuts, walnuts have much greater levels of omega-3 fatty acids, making them one of the finest plant sources of protein. Walnuts are a type of shell fruit and have a 50–70% fat and 10–20% protein composition. Even more so, the red Danube (also known as the rote Donaunuss) has a 10% higher fat content. They are regarded as the best form of brain fuel. The red Danube combines these healthy qualities, including a mild and delicate taste.

The tree appears to be a typical walnut tree. You have to break it open to see the differences. The nut kernel’s skin can be anything from red to purple in color. The flavors vary greatly as well. Red Danubes are not bitter and have a wonderful flavor and fragrance. There are currently very few remaining specimens. You’re going to love these four ingredient treats. These easy to make truffles are packed with protein, Omega-3s, and fiber!

Zoodles are a wonderful pasta substitute made from your favorite garden vegetable. They are nutrient-dense with almost zero carbs—and look at how simple they are to create!

Zoodles are zucchini that have been spiralized, and can therefore be used in the same way as pasta. The possibilities are endless with zucchini noodles plus, zucchini noodles are a fun way to increase the number of vegetables we eat, especially for children. The spiral forms are quite popular with kids (and they also enjoy using the spiralizer to make zucchini noodles!).

 

Zoodles are typically prepared using a gadget called a “spiralizer,” and there are a host of kitchen gadgets out there designed to get the job done, transforming your zucchini into noodle form in no time. Spiralizers create long noodles allowing you to spin them onto your fork.

The best thing about eating zucchini noodles is that you don’t feel ultra heavy after eating them like you would when you eat pasta. You will feel full – but satisfied. These noodles are perfect for lunch or dinner on those warmer days. It is light and refreshing. If you like the sound of these noodles, you’ll love my Ramen Noodle Soup with Kelp Noodles!

Plus, zoodles also have a subtle taste that makes them easy to mix with just about anything-including Lentil Kofta! Zucchini noodles are low calorie, low carb, and high in fiber. These are incredibly delicious and work in recipes or just tossed in olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper as comfort food.
